The girl was momentarily stunned, standing in silence.
She stared numbly at Robert, her face expressionless.
And for the first time, Robert finally saw her face.
It was entirely unfamiliar.
Back then, when they first met over a decade ago, Robert hadn’t clearly seen Er Er's face.
Her appearance had always been hidden beneath layers of dirt, like a wild child who had crawled out of the earth.
Despite her grubby exterior, Robert had thought she was irresistibly cute.
Now, after all these years, they had met again.
And this time, he could finally see her face clearly.
Her features seemed faintly familiar, a shadow of the past.
But Robert’s attention was fixated on one thing—the girl’s eyes.
He would never forget Er Er’s eyes.
Those eyes had been like stars in the night sky, forever gleaming and brilliantly shining.
The girl before him…
Robert instinctively tightened his fingers.
Indeed, she had the same eyes he remembered.
